After discovering that the road to reconciliation was impassable, Liang Hui's team continued to buy marketing accounts and a navy army to clear the ground. But the results were minimal. The "nonsense" in Liang Hui Studio's announcement became a hot word of the year, but the meaning of this word has completely changed.
The other teams who were jealous that Chen Minhao had risen too much and wanted to pull him down have all given up the idea now. They are afraid that they will not be able to defeat the fox and will cause a lot of trouble.
The seven-day military training at Beijing Film Academy was over. Although he put on a lot of sunscreen, Chen Minhao still looked dark.
On September 15th, Beijing Film Academy’s courses officially started.
In addition to these required courses, "Basic Skills of Acting", "Basic Theory of Acting", "Research on Body Language in Film Performance", "Research on Film and Television Performing Arts Creation", Chen Minhao also has a full schedule of elective courses.
After Chen Minhao enrolled in Beijing Film Academy, he kept a low profile and did not try to impress the public. As university life is colorful, other freshmen gradually no longer pay attention to Chen Minhao.
Chen Minhao did not join any student unions or clubs. When he doesn't have classes, he hangs out in the library, or takes courses in "Film Analysis" and "Film Art" in the directing department. He feels that taking this opportunity to learn more about the director's perspective on thinking will be helpful to his future performances.
On the playground, in the classroom, in the library, in the dormitory, Chen Minhao lives a life of four o'clock and one line of work every day. As for eating, Chen Qiang felt that he had such a high salary and lived in a house worth 70,000 yuan a month, and he couldn't let go. He insisted on cooking and delivering meals to Chen Minhao every day, so Chen Minhao let him go. .
Wang Zhigang is very keen on organizing class gatherings, but Chen Minhao occasionally participates. He felt that if he had this time, he might as well watch two classic movies and write movie reviews.
Chen Minhao now looks at his past performances in some of his works, and now it seems that his past performances had many shortcomings. He is very glad that he came to Beijing Film Academy to study acting systematically. Otherwise, if he only tried his own exploration and fragmented learning, he would never understand what top-level acting is.
Chen Minhao has been in school for less than a month, and the biggest gain is to watch a classic movie. He can analyze clearly what is good about the movie, what is the specific performance of the actor, and what is the specific gap between him and me. . Instead of being like before, I could only generally perceive that this actor acted well and acted realistically. Now there is a clear direction and means for improvement.
While Chen Minhao was reading in the library, Lin Xiuzi's call came in.
Lin Xiuzi asked, "I'm going to Kyoto to attend an event next Thursday. Do you want to have a meal together tonight?"
Chen Minhao thought for a moment and said, "I'll finish class at 8:30 p.m. Let's forget about dinner. We can have a late-night snack."
Lin Xiuzi chuckled and said: "Being a student is also very hard. By the way, you really don't think about coming out to make announcements and appear on a variety show recently? You have been basically silent for a month since you entered Beijing Film Academy. Let me tell you, the little girl now It's very sentimental. If you don't show your presence for a long time, your fans will climb the wall. Are you really planning to be a good student? Don't put the cart before the horse.
I'm going to audition for a supporting role in Zhang Shan's literary film "The River Flows Quietly" recently. Gao Dao is going to be on a self-produced variety show on the Kiwi Platform. He should be a regular guest and host. And Tong Ruize from your company has now switched jobs to our company. I heard that he was given a star-rated second male lead script. If you continue to be lazy like this, we will overtake you! "
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "I want to learn more things to recharge my batteries, and my agent said that without new works, it will be annoying to have them jumping around in sight every day."
Lin Xiuzi said with hatred: "It's better to be annoyed by others than to be forgotten. Liang Hui was scolded every day some time ago, and he was very diligent in the hot searches. Now almost a month has passed, and no one scolds him anymore, but it seems that There are no more programs or scripts to invite him. In our industry, it doesn’t matter if others are annoying or scolded, it’s what’s really scary when others forget.”
Chen Minhao knew that Lin Xiuzi was doing it for his own good, so he couldn't hit him too hard. He simply said: "The song "Father" was nominated for Baodao's Golden Melody Award. I will go to participate at the end of October. And I will be on the national stage in mid-October. ’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. The exposure should be okay.”
Lin Xiuzi was silent for more than ten seconds and said: "I was worried about your future just now. I should be worried about my own IQ now. Your agent is Kang Hui, and she must have arranged everything for you. I'll hang up. I can’t continue talking anymore.”
Chen Minhao thought about what Lin Xiuzi said, his resentful little eyes, and suddenly became happy, and said: "Don't hang up the phone, I haven't congratulated you yet. You are going to audition for Zhang Shan's movie. Zhang Shan is a new student." He is a leading figure in contemporary literary and art film directors, and his shooting style is that every film has outstanding little characters. This is a good opportunity, please seize it firmly, please send me your email later.
Recently, I took the "Film Analysis" course of our directing department and have been talking about his films in the past two weeks. I will send you some information I summarized, which includes his preferences for actors, personal style, etc., in addition Some of my personal opinions on the script "The River Flows Quietly" may be helpful to you in your audition. "
"I'm here to thank you in advance, brother!" Lin Xiuzi shouted happily. He then thought about it and said, "But how come you have the script of "The River Flows Quietly"? You shouldn't have to audition too. Ten million Don't audition for the same role as me. If I compete with you, I have no confidence at all."
Chen Minhao said: "Probably not, I auditioned for the second male lead."
Lin Xiuzi complained: "Can I say bad words?" Knowing that the role Chen Minhao auditioned was different from his own, Lin Xiuzi's happiness was a little sad.
Chen Minhao laughed and said: "It should be difficult for me to succeed in the audition. I just had the attitude of giving it a try. I didn't even tell my agent. I was afraid that the greater my expectations, the greater my disappointment in the end."
Lin Xiuzi asked in confusion: "Didn't you get your audition through your agent?"
Chen Minhao explained patiently: "I went to the directing department to take classes. After class, I asked the teacher some questions, but he ignored them. But once after class, he walked to my desk and asked me to follow the director. Students in the department handed in an assignment, which was a comparison of Zhang Shan’s early and late works.
I don’t understand filming or screenwriting, so I analyzed the difference between the two from an actor’s perspective. There was no response when I submitted the assignment. I thought the teacher didn’t like my analysis from an actor’s perspective.
As a result, after two weeks, one time after class, the teacher tapped my desk and said that the chapter director had a role that he wanted me to try. After I got the script, I found out that I was the second male lead. "
Lin Xiuzi sighed: "Aren't you too ridiculous in your life? I used to often hear your jokes about Beijing Film Academy or China National Theater. I was just a student. By coincidence, I joined a crew and became famous instantly. I am now Only then did I realize that this was based on reality.”
Because he was facing Lin Xiuzi, Chen Minhao rarely said a few words of truth: "Actually, it's really okay. I heard that he had at least 20 auditions for one role. Many people just go through a cutscene when entering, and to be honest, I always I don’t like this kind of literary and artistic films that sell well but don’t hit the box office. I think the most important thing for an actor is commercial value. In fact, what I want to star in most right now is a commercial film with a good reputation.”
Lin Xiuzi thought for a while and asked, "But if you don't star in a literary film, if you win a few awards, you will be sorry for the acting skills you have worked so hard to improve."
Chen Minhao said sincerely: "I'm not saying that I won't star in literary films. I just think that when people mention Chinese commercial films now, they only think of special effects, popular stars, and rubbish acting skills. But some commercial films in Europe and the United States, although they are enjoyable to watch, are not as good as the actors' acting skills. It is also online, even outstanding.
I think the film market will eventually return to rationality. I would rather become a star with acting skills and box office appeal than an old actor that few people care about. "
